Cabin Fever 2011

I have written my letter to Camden State Park requesting the weekend of January 14th to 16th for the Cabin Fever Event. For those who are not familiar with this, it's a winter camping experience not to be forgotten. Watch the date carefully, there is a chance I may not get the weekend I requested. My second choice was the following weekend.

I have written my letter to Camden State Park requesting the weekend of January 14th to 16th for the Cabin Fever Event. For those who are not familiar with this, it's a winter camping experience not to be forgotten. The event should be posted very soon. Watch the date carefully, there is a chance I may not get the weekend I requested. My second choice was the following weekend.

I tried to make this last year . . . by sled . . . but broke down . . . the only time my beloved Skidoo left me stranded in the woods . . . newer sled this year . . . if there is snow I may try coming in by sled to say hi.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the realization that there is something more important than fear."

Almost any cheap sled will work, but if you get a wider one, it might not tip over as easily. A smaller one will keep you from taking too much gear.

Yup TAT - right on!

That's the one I got (last year) and with some parachute type cord wound through the holes (I think I got that there - or at the Hardware store at the end of Exchange Street - used to be Bangor Hardward/believe not Aubuchon anyway), some bungies (if the sled people don't have any - try the hardware store near Blue Seal Feeds N Needs, or Blue Seal or Marden's) and a few knots in the rope (opps - maybe I got the rope at Ocean State Job Lot) - I was good to go. This year I am considering the blue (or other colored) tarp wrap of everything in the sled before bungying it down into the sled.

I have gone through my list of gear - ready and waiting to hear the "real date"..............
